Conan Cash II

Conan looks like he's going to be making straight bank:
After a last long night of negotiations, the deal to end Mr. O’Brien’s short term as host of “The Tonight Show” was concluded with an agreement that will pay him about $32 million and free him up to return to television in eight months.
May be Conan on Fox will be a reality.

Conan Cash


Conan O'Brien might make a killing if he leaves NBC:
Conan O'Brien is reportedly close to signing a $40 million deal to walk away from "The Tonight Show" and end a weeks-long controversy between the late-night host and NBC.
Not only will he make bank from this deal:
The agreement could come as early as Tuesday, according to the Wall Street Journal. The potential deal would bar O'Brien from "bad-mouthing" his former bosses at NBC but would allow him to take another television job within one year, the Journal said
I would love to see him back on the airwaves. He is by far the best talk show host on network television.

Conan Leaving NBC?

After NBC announced that Leno would be moving back to 11:35, it appears Conan might be leaving the network as a result of his dissatisfaction with this move (He would move to 12:05). Here's a quote from a source:
"He's done a great job for NBC," the source told the Post. "He moved his entire staff, he moved his family to LA. And five months later, they repay him like this?"
While I don't get to watch him as much as I should, he's by far my favorite late night talk show host.

Conan Out, Leno In?


It looks like Conan might be out of the Tonight Show:
Jay Leno is going back to his 11:30 PM time slot, and it's looking like Conan O'Brien is the odd man out ... sources tell TMZ
Conan is probably my favorite late night host, so it would be an awful change for me. While I like Leno, it has less to do with him as an entertainer and more to do with the fact that we're interested in the same things (cars).
